Hi guys, looking for a little feedback for my son's kart. We have almost always had a loose condition from center off and I've only been able to remedy it by going to low tire pressure, of course that hurts lap times. My son is very light, weighs 50lbs soaking wet. I have him setting up in the seat pretty well to gain as much transfer as I can (and so he can see, hes short lol)
Is it as simple as moving or putting some lead on the RR? we're barely at weight so adding some won't hurt us or is there a better way to get some weight to transfer to that RR on exit?
Kart is a 2006 Prowler on Vega MCS's
Scaled per Prowlers specs
track is a 1/4MI very soft dirt/sand track with almost no bite.
We normally are very fast and have won a lot of races but I know there is more in it and being in the infield last weekend, I could see exactly what the kart was doing. He's only 10 and this is his first season so I'm not 100% sure his feedback is accurate yet but Being in the infield at turn 1-2 watching closely showed me he was spot on!
Is it possible I need more left rear weight? These prowlers tend to push if you run much LR weight or over prep the LR tire I just didn't want to create a push and slow him down, as he can drive it well when loose.
